ELWOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS

We held our first annual mock interview event where each senior was matched with a career professional to practice their interviewing skills. The career professionals were impressed with our students and gave them great feedback. A tremendous "thank you" to our interviewers for taking time out of their day to help our students. This event was the definition of "it takes a village!"

Eat with an Expert - Thank you to Lexington Middle School for the idea! Today we hosted Megan Bellamy, Elwood alum and courtroom stenographer, to share about her career with interested students. She brought the machine she uses to show students how courtroom reporting works. Such a fascinating career that requires two years of postsecondary education and can be done full-time or freelance. Thank you, Megan, for sharing your time and talents with us!
